There was-a beautiful shade of: green, which I saw frequently in materials. ~All the girls in this' establishment wore this shade of kimono. They are taken when quite young and trained under strict supervision, so that the most efficient service is assured. ~ "We were given Japanese tea, which is clear green tea, served in handleless cups on black palette-shaded saucers." The little biscuits accompanying the tea were sickly sweet. I suppose it would take time to-get accustomed to their food. I really did not enjoy it. When we left amid good wishes and smiles from all sides, we found our shoes awaiting us.' It always amused me greatly, that no matter by what door we left a place our shoes were always there. And always the attendants could not hide their amusement at our feet. Perhaps you will appreciate that when I whisper that the others with me had even bigger feet than I--believe it or not. ; . Another beautiful place we visited was the Meiji- Shrine. There were over one hundred acres of grounds covered by trees, shrubs and gardens. A long, wide, gravelled road would its way un t~ 'ins Le "ple, On either side of this well kept road was a Lank © ~ h-% lhoked like grass, but it was clipped bamboo, I was told. . h- = cre streams of people going in and out of this Shinto Shrine, Pilgrims from villages far and near were in groups. They were dressed differently and looked as if they had worked hard all their lives. Often these villages will save for a whole year, then with these savings send a number of their people to this Shrine. I suppose in the course of years each villager would get his turn. Before coming to the main temple there was a place where the people washed théir mouths and hands, before offering their prayers. On these buildings white ribbons are placed. At the main temple a long white cloth stretched across the floor and on. this coins are thrown. ' It was covered when I saw it. Here and there a white hand- kerchief or paper had been thrown in with the money. White is for purification, and this is of great importance in Shintoism. We drove along many of Tokyo's streets, through parks and around the Imperial Palace, where guards stood at every opening. But our next -adventure was staying at a Japanese Inn. Arriving tRere we were greeted by a number of people, smiling and bowing. While we were busily engaged removing our shoes I heard the softest voice speaking in perfect English. It came as a little shock, for I had forgotten that our friends had said we were to meet a Buddhist priest here. It was he who had spoken." Our host, a chubby smiling man, kept howing to. the floor and was anxious to please us, 2 Small black lecquer tables were brought in and a cushion placed on the floor for each of us, On these we knelt or sat and ate, (or tried to) a real Japanese meal, Tea is always served first. Then came a small round bun. It looked delicious, but when I took a bite I found it sickly sweet as If it were made of bean paste, There was a great bowl of rice and some dish made mainly of eggs. These we managed with chop- sticks. A beautiful black bowl was placed before each one. In this was a thin liquid, on which was floating a bow of white satin ribbon and one of pink, Actually this was soup with a fishy taste. The ribbons were a fish paste, cut that way. I took a bite of the "ribbon" but it was tasteless. There were beans in pods which had to be squeezed and then out popped the beans ready to be eaten. For dessert there were luscious peaches, EAL : Our priest was greatly interested im theatricals and wished us to see some good Japanese drama, At the better theatres all the seats had been sold, so we had to go to a less noted one. We went along winding streets where there were theatres by the dozens. Finally we came to our 'distination and entering one, where the acting .was supposed to be very good. Shoes off again even here. There were seats ag in our theatres, although many sat on the floor, The acting was done with great energy and although I couldn't understand a word I gathered something from their actions. ~ A voice behind me, spoke to me in broken English, "Why you American in this place?" "This slum--Why you not go to better theatre?" I explained that I was from Canada and how it was we came to be there. He then wanted to know if I understood the play and when I said I didn't he explained it so that I could follow the story quite easily, i (To be continued.)

Mr. Whiting, a returned mis. _sionary from Japan, gave a very in- teresting talk on his "twenty-three years' work among the Japanese, here on Sunday afternoon.

Meetin On Saturday evening a meeting was held in the Town Hall in the interests of William E. Noble, the standard- bearer for the Co-operative Common- wealth Federation. Unfortunately the hall was cold, and it was too un- comfortable to stay through the whole proceedings. However, Mr. Millard, of Oshawa, and Mr. William Grant, formerly of Port Perry, both made effective speeches, claiming that the capitalistic system would have to be replaced by. control of Canadian industries, resources and banks for the benefit of the people as a whole. Mr. Millard made a special appeal for placing the C.C.F. in power, as only in this way could Canada avoid the entanglements of war; and reduce the excessive profits and control of those who now operate the banks and the big industries.
